I am engaged in construction in ancient times

Chapter 74 Uproar

Yuanzhou Governor Chen Honghai was so angry that he threw a cup, "Look at you, you are so useless. The other side only has a thousand people. You led several times more people, but the other side won with fewer people. So many people were captured. What did you eat to grow up!"

"I was crazy to let you do such a thing!" Most of his soldiers were captured alive. If this got out, where would Yuanzhou put their face?

Hao Xingfan felt really upset. At first, he thought he had a good job. He had his brother-in-law to support him and a group of well-trained soldiers under him. They pretended to be pirates and all the merchants who passed by left bribes. He made a lot of profits for his good brother-in-law. Now he kicked the iron plate, but his brother-in-law only blamed him.

The Yuanzhou sailors were indeed well-trained before, but after they won several games in a row and tasted the sweetness of windfall, the morale of the team was loose, and everyone wanted to go astray and make quick money. Who was willing to train hard?

At this time, they ran into the Yangzhou soldiers who had been trained for a long time and came prepared, and the tiger skin shell they had originally covered was ruthlessly exposed.

Hao Xingfan complained bitterly: "Brother-in-law, it's the group of people from Yangzhou, they are too cunning."

"They have all kinds of despicable conspiracies and tricks."

"The leader is called Shan Chen, he looks honest, but he is actually full of bad water."

Chen Honghai rolled up a book and knocked it on Hao Xingfan's head: "All is fair in war, you should be more cunning, have you read military books?"

"Brother-in-law, I haven't read military books, but... we are obviously playing the role of pirates, why do pirates need to read books?"

"The other side uses despicable means, they, they always pretend to be ordinary merchants to trick us."

"Also... Some set traps in the water and on the shore, put sacks on people and catch them, just like robbers--"

After hearing this, Chen Honghai became even more angry: "Then you also trick them! Are you a bandit or are they bandits? ? "

Hao Xingfan's face became as miserable as a bitter gourd, and he said helplessly: "But brother-in-law, we are not real bandits..."

"We were all good soldiers who trained openly before, so how could we think of those despicable routines."

Chen Honghai couldn't get up in one breath, so he walked around the room, and he almost fell down when he stepped on the broken pieces of the teacup that had just fallen, "What is this all about."

"Useless thing!"

Hao Xingfan listened to the lecture bitterly, not daring to complain again.

"Brother-in-law, what should we do now? We can't keep our men in Xuanzhou forever. The families of the officers and soldiers have come to ask for them."

Chen Honghai glared at his brother-in-law who was more trouble than success, "What should I do? Alas... I have no choice but to write to Xuanyang and two states to ask for people."

Chen Honghai called his clerk over, "You, you go and write two letters, first thanking them for their righteousness in clearing the water bandits for Yuanzhou, but the two of you don't understand the situation in Yuanzhou, and you arrested the wrong people, mistakenly arresting some Yuanzhou officers and soldiers as water bandits, it's all a misunderstanding, Hao Xingfan, go and take out most of the money you got back before and send it with the letters."

The clerk nodded respectfully to Yun, turned around and went back to grind ink to write a letter.

Hao Xingfan nodded aggrievedly, not daring to say much, but complaining in his heart: Obviously my brother-in-law made the most money, but he had to spend money to avoid disaster.
